The Interpretation Of AnlnaI Actions.

The Interpretation Of Animal Actions.
Many Of the performances Of the
lower animals, il accomplished by men,
would be regarded Is indications Of
the possession OF marvellous genius.
In the brutes they are regarded rs the
outcome OF "mere instinct by which
il meant an endowment acting blindly
and incapable either Of philosOphic ex-
PLANTATION or of modification. While
The fact seems to be that instincts. .
they exist, are the result Of in
herited experiences accumulated
through considerable periods Of
time; that they may be modi-
fed, and are constantly being
modified by new experiences; that they
may be lost or replaced, and much
more that We have still to learn. Many
Of the instincts Of animals are 70 far
removed from any knowledge or faculty
we possess that they are 1t present in
explicable. But man must learn to say
II don't know" about o great many
things still, instead of assuming the
validity of explanations which are not
true solutions at all, but mere assump-
tiona.
And at this point allow me to indi-
cate u danger that should make us o "a
tions and modest in attempting to ex-
plain the behavior Of animals. We in
fer from our fellow-man's behavior
similarity Of motive and mental pro-
cesses to our own under like circum-
stances. We find, the more experience
we have, that we are often at fault as to
both. And when we are more free
from the t%hralldrom of so-called sys-
TENS and methods in education we may
learn that the activities of the human
mind cannot be reduced in all persons
to precisely the one plan, like so much
clockwork. This may mar somewhat
the completeness and beauty of our
philosophy OF education, but it may
also in the end conduce to human prog
ress by providing the greater freedom,
and end in insurting an individuality Of
character which seems to be now
rapidly disappearing. Now, if individ-
ual men so differ in psychic behavior,
how much more is it likely that still
greater differences hold for the lower
animals! An objection may be based,
however, on this to the whole study of
comparative psychology. The objection
holds to some extent even for human
psychology, but as we infer similarity
OF behavior in men to denote similarity
OF inner processes, so are We justified
in the same as regards the lower ami
mails, though it must be conceded some-
what less so. We must always be pre-
pared to admit that there may be
psychic paths unknown and possibly
unknowable to us in the realm Of their
inner life. But if we regard man as
the outcome OF development through
lower forms according to variation with
natural selection--in a word, if o man
is the final link in a long chain binding
the whole animal creation together we
have the greater reason for inferring
that comparative psychology and hui
man psychology have common roots

Benton's Departure from Congress.

80 N&NY w
The close Of the session reminds me
of the last night Of The Thirty-third
Congress in the House Of Representa-
tiyes. The Senate sent over las amend-
ments to the Snndry Civil Appropria-
ton bill. and It was s o'clock in the
morning before they were disposed Of
by q committee OF conference. Mr..
Pratt then asked whether it would be
in order to have the restaurant servants
bring in breakfast.
"Let me amend tho question: said
Mike Walsh, "by having cocktails and
whisky punches introduced also.n
A conversational debate followed,
during which some very clever things
were said, and at last tho S~ergeant-at-
Arms reported a quorum present. Sew
eral bills were then passed under a 8
pension Of the rules, and during the
taking OF the yeas and nays the Clerk
called Mr.. Benton's name, when that
gentleman appeared at the door Of the
main aisle, and protested, with violent
gesticulation, against his name being
called. He said he was an ex-member,
and TINT the session that day was . libel
on the Sabbath.
Some confusion followed this episode,
when the Speaker, pro tenn. Nj. Orr,
told the gentleman that he was out Of
order.
Il am not a member" growled Mr..
Benton.
"Then," promptly retortcd Mr.. Orr,
III the gentleman is not q member, the
doorkeeper will put him ont"
Mr.. Benton did not say another word,

Poisoned Paper.

Within the past few months there has
been much stir over the question of
arsenic in Wallpapers. Prof. Dyon of
Harvard University started it, believing
himself and family to have been badly
poisoned by it, and feeling under oblig.
alton to make his experience available
for the public good.
The other side has been presented by
manufacturers and dealers, and by the
various interests involved. Testimony
has been pitted against testimony, and
expert against expert, until now
the public hardly knows what
to believe. Perhaps an opinion based
upon an unbiased sitting of evidence
may be helpful.
l. We believe that arsenic is extern
sively used In the manufacture of WALL
paper, but usually in such minute
quantities that the use Of the paper is
not dangerous. The question Is not
whether the chemist can detect any ar
senic in the paper tested by him or not,
but if he finds it there in o dangerous
quantity.
Most poisons are safe within certain
limits. Our systems have q wonderful
eliminating power. Many of the best
medicines are virulent poisons-not
only arsenic itself, but preparations of
opium, corrosive sublimate, deadly
nightshade, ~strychnine, and other
drugs. Carbonic acid gas, which is q
fatal poison in large quantities, is q
constituent part of the atmosphere.
We believe, then, that the arsenic in
all the paper of any ordinary dwelling
would not harm one if concentrated
into o single dose.
2. But we equally believe that some
papers, particularly those with q rough
or velvety surface, contain arsenic in
quantities which make them dangerous,
especially so when exposed to long
continued dampness.
We know of one person who, while
engaged In hanging such paper, al
though he took every precaution in the
way OF abundant ventilation, was so
badly poisoned that he was made i'll,
and was hardly able to reach home un-
assisted. The doctor at once pro-
nounced It q case Of ~arsenical poison
ing.
The occupants of such q house, IL
their constitutions are rather tolerant
of arsenic--there is much difference in
the susceptibility to its influence-.and
if the house naturally and artificially is
a dry one, and is kept we'll ventilated,
might escape harm. But we should
not like to insure the concurrence Of
these conditions.
Here We would caution our wealthy
readers to be doubly careful of the VEN
t~ilation OF their houses in protracted
damp weather, and to make sure that
every room is thoroughly ventilated on
returning from their summer vacation.
But, above all, make sure that the WALL
paper does not contain arsenic in dam
gerous quantity. If it does, tear tho
paper down instantly. -ComDaniOu

That Tired Feeling

what is meant by the expression. A ciange OF sea
con, climate, or OF life has such a depressing effect
upon the body that one feels all tired out, almost

is TO ambition to do anything. The whole tendency
of the system is downward. In this condition Hoods
